Electrode

Coating quality inspection and gauging solutions

During the electrode manufacturing process, the electrode material is coated onto copper and aluminum foil for electric flow. It is essential to check the metal surface, separator, and coating for any surface or edge defects as well as for uniform shape and thickness. Cognex provides coating quality inspection and coating width gauging solutions to ensure that electrode sheets meet exacting specifications before they are separated by an insulator and—depending on manufacturer and form type—rolled, wound, or stacked into a lithium-ion cell.
